Sunday morning- New York City.
We’ve had a wonderful week visiting my sister for Thanksgiving. Today we split up and Charlie and his family took the 9:30 boat to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. Charlie (2+) said she has her sleeves up! The weather was perfect. Mary and I were at the Holiday Fair in Grand Central Station when these photos arrived on my phone, Looked like a guest blog to me! Thanks James.
All of the photos are taken by my SIL James, Charlie’s dad, except for the one with the Park Ranger taken by my daughter Laura, Charlie’s mom.
“The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World” was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was designated as a National Monument in 1924. Employees of the National Park Service have been caring for the colossal copper statue since 1933.” from the National Park Service Webpage
Laura standing with the original torch. They could only go to the pedestal level as you have to be 4ft tall to go up to the crown level.
Super pictures! Wonderful!
Great pictures. So glad to see Laura and James and especially Charlie enjoying Lady Liberty. What a nice family you have.
Great to get up close to places I probably won’t ever see in person 🛬
I feel the same way when I look at your photos, Rainee.
These are great photos. For some reason, during these troubled times when our democracy seems to be threatened, these pictures of the statue bring tears to my eyes.
I agree! Beautiful photos! Brought tears to my eyes also.❤️
James / Laura captured such a great family adventure. Thanks for posting Charlie’s comment about the sleeves.
THANK YOU, Charlie for a wonderful tour!!!
Looks like they had a lovely outing.
Such astute observations! That Charlie is a little smartie.
